This is old news, but I was just reminded of it by a post on TechNewsWorld, and I think I’d share this information with you all. As I’m sure you all know, Virtual Machines are a craze at the moment due to their flexibility. It is a great security measure because if your ‘Virtual’ computer gets infected, you can just uninstall and reinstall the Virtual Machine. Now, a new idea has come out. A “Virtual Web Browser” would make it easy for the average person to get rid of Malware. Instead of having to clean it out himself, he could simply get rid of his browser and replace it. This is a very interesting idea. If things work out; this could really decrease the number of infections each month.

This idea was demonstrated last month at the DEMOFall in San Diego. Currently, there seems to be two companies working on Virtual Browsers; Qumranet and Check Point Software. Both companies are planning to release their products by the first quarter of next year.
